Mert, my father, passed away on 12 August after a short illness. He was 60 years old. He was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance.
The funeral home has given us a quote of $1,400 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 23 August.
I have already used what I had for the hospital bills. My family is scattered, and many of us are out of work. We want Mert to have a dignified farewell.
Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers.
The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt.
Where the $1,400 goes:
• Funeral home services and casket: $910
• Cemetery plot and burial fees: $390
• Memorial gathering for the family: $100
With deep gratitude,
Gizem

Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gizem.
Funeral home services and casket is $910 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page.
